Good luck with the cats. Do you think they will cope with the sacred beast - and vice versa?

Awww I want a pair of cats so much! Last year I promised myself I could have one this year, but alas it has not come to pass (much less busy road, but still renting a flat). I promise I'll be able to have two next year. I hope I can keep it. Life is poo without cats.

You call a cat a "sacred beast"?

Dear Friend, Jak.. the Egyptians had the right idea.

Cats were put on this earth for us humans to worship.. no other purpose other than to love them, and feed them every time you open the fridge ;-)

This is Ollys version anyway lol

They are either much too fickle or much too picky for my tastes.

As you probably have seen, I do see animals as individuals, but I avoid personifying them to the degree that some do. I would prefer to take a scientific view.

You can tell a bit about an animal by its corresponding feral behavior from its wild brethren: I prefer an animal that is known to be a pack animal, rather than one that is known to be solitary.

The housecat is descended from wild desert cats, many found in Egypt and its environs. They are more newly domesticated. The dog is thought to be descended from various strains of wolves, and have a much older history of domestication.

Again, give me a dog, any day, and as long as people stop assuming that all quiet, introverted people want cats, I'm satisfied.

(Apparently, not all fairly outgoing folk are nuts about dogs, in comparison. Yes, Anna, I'd say that includes you. Protest all you like that you're not "outgoing"-- you are more "outgoing" than me.)

Also forgot to mention, I am allergic to cat dander, but not dog.

So no cats!

I remember a housemate that had a cat with a farting problem-- people never smelt that bad.

but then again it escaped and the neighbor brought it back saying he thought it had a problem with ringworm
